A cheetah is very fast and can run at speeds of up to 80 mph.
A cheetah can run at speeds of between 50 to 80 mph with a maximum speed of 80 mph.
Cheetahs are a large cat which is native to Africa and central Iran.
The Cheetah is the fastest land animal, estimated to be capable of running at 80 to 128 km/h with the fastest reliably recorded speeds being 93 and 98 km/h, and as such has several adaptations for speed, including a light build, long thin legs and a long tail.
Cheetahs are not an active threat to humans, and are rather docile compared to other wild cats.
But, cheetahs are still wild animals, and you should never attempt to touch a wild cheetah.
Lions and hyenas will kill adult cheetahs, but cubs are especially vulnerable.
Cheetah cub survival is only around 5% in East Africa's Serengeti plains, largely due to lion predation.
Cheetahs do not pose an active threat to humans and generally do not have a high history of aggression towards people.
However, it is a myth that wild cheetahs like humans.
These cats are led by their predatory instincts and may perceive people as threats.
The same way they see other animals.
Gazelles (especially Gazella thompsonii), impalas (Aepyceros melampus), other small- to medium-sized ungulates, plus calves of larger ungulate species are the primary diet of cheetahs.
In addition, hares (Lepus spp.), small mammals, and birds may also be taken.
While they wouldn't compare to animals such as chimps or elephants, cheetahs are smart animals.
They hunt by predicting the moves of their prey and being careful to pounce when they are close enough to catch the animal.
Cheetahs drink water from waterholes, rivers, or any place where water is available.
In Iran, cheetahs are known to eat gazelle, wild sheep, hares, and also to take livestock.
Cheetahs reach such speeds thanks to their heart, lungs and body structure.
